I am happy to do an announcement but I feel like there needs to be a place to redirect conversation. Should we set up a mailing list? Or do all interested people want to join comp.lang.python and perhaps use a subject prefix for filtering? "OPT: ..."

They can post to python-dev (and even subscribe -- it's open these days) or someone can summarize. I don't expect a huge discussion. Please make it clear in the announcement that followups in c.l.py will be ignored -- they must send at least one email to python-dev to make us aware that they're competing. Ideally, it should compare their solution to Greg's list of key features of Optik, which he posted here:

Please include that link in your announcement.
